The episode was complicated by anterior uveitis, a feature until now not recognized as a manifestation of hypersensitivity to the use of anticonvulsants. He suffered from recent onset of a complex partial seizure with secondary generalization. After neurologic workup, the patient began treatment with carbamazepine. He was healthy until 7 weeks after the start of treatment, when he developed an itching rash of the lower extremities. The treatment was changed to valproic acid.</span> 158 2 192 192 http://archinte.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleID=191088
